The active constituents of Korean Papaver rhoeas bee pollen conferring neuraminidase inhibitory activities (H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1) were investigated. Six flavonoids and one alkaloid were isolated and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data. These included kaempferol-3-sophoroside (1), kaempferol-3-neohesperidoside (2), kaempferol-3-sambubioside (3), kaempferol-3-gl...

Abstract This work aims to determine the antioxidants activity of individual and natural extracts by isothermal calorimetry. The proposed method is an adaptation “ inhibited autoxidation ”. It consists monitoring heat-flow signal evolved during styrene, in presence 2,2?-azobis(isobutyronitrile) as radical initiator, with or plant inhibitors, under conditions (303 K). resulting calorimetric trac...

Catalase enzyme from red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) plant was immobilized covalently with glutaraldehyde onto chitosan particles. The changes in the kinetic properties of the immobilized and free red poppy catalase were determined. The Km values were found to be 26 and 33 mM for free and immobilized red poppy catalase on chitosan. Furthermore, various characteristics of free and immobilized red pop...

BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines have traditionally recommended blood pressure treatment based primarily on blood pressure thresholds. In contrast, using predicted cardiovascular risk has been advocated as a more effective strategy to guide treatment decisions for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. We aimed to compare outcomes from a blood pressure-lowering treatment strategy based...

Protein phosphorylation regulates numerous cellular processes. Identifying the substrates and protein kinases involved is vital to understand how these important posttranslational modifications modulate biological function in eukaryotic cells. Pyrophosphatases catalyze the hydrolysis of inorganic phosphate (PPi) to inorganic phosphate Pi, driving biosynthetic reactions; they are essential for l...
